Location: A Sketchy Capsule Hotel in Tokyo, Japan
Staying at a capsule hotel was one of the things I was looking forward to most when visiting Tokyo, Japan. Our experience staying at a capsule hotel was nothing like I expected it to be.
Please don't let this video stop you from staying at a capsule hotel next time you're in Tokyo! There are much nicer hotels, but messed up and went to the wrong capsule hotel! I found a nice one on Trip Advisor, but we put the wrong address into our maps and we ended up a super gross capsule hotel. We didn't realize we had checked into the wrong hotel until it was too late!
To stay at the capsule hotel you pay with a vending machine. We couldn't get our money back so we were stuck there for tonight. Unfortunately, they still allow smoking inside, so that didn't make our sleepless night any better. It was pretty much a nightmare experience, but we tried to make the most of it!
If you want to know what it's like to stay at a really gross capsule hotel in Tokyo, Japan check out this VLOG!
The capsules we stayed in were nothing like the capsules we saw in +Only In Tokyo's video - Tokyo Capsule Hotel Experience ★ WAO✦RYU!TV ONLY in JAPAN #26 東京カプセルホテル体験 - www.youtube.co...
They also weren't anything like the ones in Japan Online's video - Capsule Hotel in Tokyo, Japan - • Capsule Hotel in #toky...
These look more more enjoyable! Try one of those two hotels next time you're in japan.

Anyone else binge watching all of their vlogs while stuck in quarantine??
Scott Tilden I just found this channel and the Trans-Siberian was my first yesterday of many hours ahead!
Of course!
yep, watching in quarantine 2023
My goal is to finish the whole series from country 1-100 lol
I’ve already watched the newer vids but i wanna go from start to finish
When nate opened his capsule the second time i fully expected to see someone laying there and i almost screamed
That would have been funny
Same..and the music dosen't help either.
Legit same
Same 😝
I felt the same way. It was like a horror movie. DON'T OPEN THAT DOOR!
I saw a documentary about Japans "homeless people". Technically homeless because they can't afford a regular house or apartment, so they end up living in these little hotels. Almost like an underground community.
Yes because cigarettes matter soo much
@@vanessaann6454 I know it was four years ago, but I don't remember mentioning cigarettes.
@@kat369-mine I know but all of these homeless people are here, yet they can afford cigarettes
@@vanessaann6454 I never understood that part. I have long since become a cold bitch. I don't completely ignore people asking for money on street corners. But I will deliver water bottles and sandwiches when I can.
I woulda took the loss and found a different hotel, I can't stand cigarette smoke
Me too
Me too
LH agreed
No kidding, sometimes Nate is waaaay too worried about pinching pennies. I get that they want to save money but unless you're extremely poor there's no need to be this thrifty. It makes for interesting content I guess.
Agreed. It’s disgusting 😩
That place looks like a mental asylumn. I'd be so scared :\
Amy Gian A mental asylum is much worse.
They had mats, it was nothing like a mental hospital XD
I take it you have never been in a mental hospital 😂 they are much cleaner and don't have pods ! 😂 at least in the U.K. .....
Kinda reminded me of jail
The vibe is kinda mental asylumn
All you people complaining because Kara said squiggly lines...one of my best friends is Japanese (born and lived for the first at least 10 years of her life and speaks and reads it,fluently) and I’ve heard her call it that more than once! So don’t get offended when a foreigner calls it that,because so do the locals!
People get too offended over little things, I swear
Nikki R that’s like insulting yourself vs. insulted by other people, especially strangers
It was obvious she meant that they were squiggly lines TO HER, not literal squiggly lines. It was self-deprecating humor because she can't read the language.
This has the same energy as "my best friend is black"🤣🤣🤣🤣
When did she say that?
The amount of people offended by "squiggly lines" is mind blowing. She saw words that she can't read that looks like squiggly lines to her... so what!? She was describing what the characters looked like, what was she supposed to say? If you watch their videos, it's clear they are respectful of the places and people they encounter.
Food Monster Exactly, it's just a description of what they see.
Food Monster это точно, согласен.
It sounded like she expected and required English.
she knew it was Japanese and said that to offend people. stop trying to defend this bullshit
@@HKT100 you're a pussy grow up.
Her face just before the elevator doors closed 😂 and then to top it up 💀i love you💀
Just discovered your channel and I can’t stop binge watching!
Cassie Layne same!! It’s all I’ve watched for the last 2-3 weeks!!
The shear panic on Kara’s face when she stepped out of the elevator made me bust out laughing
And Nate's "love you" after the doors close 😂
I know he explained, just incase u were wondering...
MOST CAPSULE HOTELS ARE AMAZING...
THIS ONE IS A BAD ONE!
i want to go to an expensive one bc they seem so cool
Kara is so much braver than I . I would have been begging to go to the correct place, even after paying, lol. I would have taken the loss. What a good sport you guys are!!
So, shoes are not ok, but smoking is?
Lol no shoes indoors is a big rule in japan its part of japan culture
@@mrguaco584 Well, then, no cigarette smoking indoors should also be part of their culture lol
@@Dezso1777 you can’t tell another culture how to be their own culture 😬
I really love how you guys don't really put a blame on each other. For me, I would be so mad. Love you both
One whiff of cigarette smoke and I would have left regardless of paying already.
Is it sad that I probably wouldn't have noticed? My mom smoked for most of my life so I'm sort of ussed to the smell. Still gives me headaches though.
@Cute Content Well, she stopped, but now she vapes :/
@@reina4544 what is a vape.......
.......
@@reina4544 Is she still vaping?
$20 each ... I would gotten the fuck outta there !!!
What crappy comments! I absolutely love this video! Traveling isn't always fun and rainbows. I've never even heard of capsule hotels before. Honestly, this one looked like a morgue. Kudos to you for sticking it out. And I don't think you meant squiggly lines to be disrespectful. That's exactly what they look like when you don't know what you're reading. But people who don't travel probably wouldn't understand that.
Karen
@@Blake_Kesterson The crappy comments are Karen’s. And if you support those comments. Then you are a Karen or Kevin yourself.
Halona Black stfu Karen
Kara is funny ... and I love her light hearted spirit! Made a great travel companion!
I don’t really understand why people are like really upset about the squiggly lines comment. To people who don’t know the language that’s what it looks like. My family gets a lot of foreign exchange students and numerous times that’s how they described English letters. It’s just an adjective no one means for it to be offensive. On a different note, there are some amazing and affordable capsule hotels in Japan, you guys definitely missed out 😂😂❤️❤️
You're a lucky man bro! Bill Murray once said something along the lines of, take a person on a trip around the world, and if you're still together when you get back home, marry them!!
:)
Lol I’m 2yrs late
The look on Kara's face as the lift doors closed! :-D
I lived in Japan for years, and this takes me back to when I first went. Yep, I think you got very unlucky with that capsule. I've stayed at lots over the years, and all way nicer. Tbh, getting off the beaten track and into experiences like this is what traveling's all about, but I'm sure you feel the same. No harm done, and you got a good video/vlog out of it!
The innocent horrified look on Nate's face is why they are pros now, because they went through so much over the years! Lol 😮😅 Kara's reaction to Nate's discovery is priceless lol.
4:03 that oops expression of Kara is just priceless
I like you videos. But when you guys whisper, you could put subtitles for better understanding. :)
The only comments I see are people complaining about the people complaining about the squiggly lines lol
Well shit they are and I'm korean born.
I know this comment is 10 months old but right? lmao, I haven't seen one single person complain about her saying squiggly lines, just preciously what you said.
When did she say that?
As soon as she said squiggly lines I KNEW somebody was going to be offended. 🤦🏽♀️
Megan H LMAO same. I was like “welp, someone gonna be mad”
Matilda Le random TH-cam loser @ 0:18
Well it is offensive. She's stupid for saying that
Are you Japanese? Then you don’t get to decide if it’s offensive or not.
@@evanhansen5626 as a matter of fact I am. And it is offensive, those 'squiggly lines' are someone's culture, one has no right to demean it just because they can't understand it.
This is too too funny!! I am cracking up. I just went from your Maldives video straight to this one and I'm still laughing my head off!!!!!!!! This is great. This does happen whether on trip advisor or airbnb. Thanks for the honesty. Love you guys for roughing it.!!! Keep up the good work. We love how you are mixing up these trips....
Haha you never know what you’re going to get! 😂👍🏻
Kara's face when the elevator closed had me dying!!!
😂😂
Awe, if I saw your videos 8 years ago, I would have sent you $40+ for you 2, to get a new place to stay! Glad it all worked out!
Hopefully one day I visit Japan, with my hubby! it's on my bucket list. Expensive though, we are grandparents, helping financially with our sugarbabies!
SOOOO, living through your eyes, and started your videos from the beginning! Saw all newer ones! 1st class is a dream also!! One day!!!!! Ok enough rambles!!
Keep bringing great vids, we love ❤️ you guys!!!
I've never laughed so loud at any of your other vlogs...so funny when Nate tells Kara they're at the wrong capsule hotel...in retrospect, this will be one of the best stories you tell in the future....those sketchy guys reading the paper in the 'common' room were the cherry on the soda...One year a friend and I arrived in Winnepeg on Christmas eve...we had one overnight before grabbing the train west to Vancouver BC...nothing was open, no place to eat. We were starving. We ended up eating dinner at a restaurant that was in a horribly derelict neighborhood. The food was freezer burned, including the ice cream that came with 'christmas dinner.' The other customers were like crackheads. We got back to our hotel and waited for death by ptomaine, but never got sick. It was hi-LARRY-us.
That was funny!! That's traveling. You get experiences, and warn others not to make those mistakes. Thanks!
"I WOULD SAY OOPS!"
Love her way of dealing with the address snafu
No matter how much your guys vlogging quality improves, I think this is still my favourite one. So hilarious.
OMG - the music you picked for your floor, Nate. I was dying. Life is an adventure, huh? :)
Great video!!… I watched half of your newer videos and now I'm enjoying your earlier ones. As always GREAT job!!!
I found this hilarious 🤣🤣 just found your videos and love them!
so hilarious when the elevators doors closed and the reaction on her face. lol
Just what I was going to come down to post! Just a glimpse as the doors slide shut...
Can’t believe this got so many dislikes & hateful comments. So many triggered folks & snowflakes out there. If you were to watch other videos it’s clear they have respect for the locals. Plus, foreign languages are sometimes reduced to “squiggly lines” in an off the cuff & comedic fashion. We all have bad travel experiences, so it would come off as suspicious and not very transparent if Kara & Nate shielded their audience from the bad experiences they have.
triggered! snowflakes! use more buzzwords if you can lol
you just used triggered and Snowflakes, Nope I can't accept or value your comment ignorant!
Hahaha love this! An unforgettable experience for sure and that last look of horror on Kate;s face before the elevator closed was gold lol! Also, don't sweat all the dislikes and troll comments here, we've got a video like this (Vietnam) where we just filmed the reality of what happened to us when two woman bait and switched the price on us and didn't give us our correct change back and then filmed our honest reactions to being stolen from and now we're somehow the "entitled and greedy Americans". Uh huh. sure.
People that don't travel long-term forget that this is your life and that you've literally spend thousands of dollars traveling and giving money to other countries and small businesses... plus, you film it, curate it, edit it, and that's your life energy which also has a time cost but nope... the pitchforks come out when you're honest and say the words "squiggly lines" when to you, that's EXACTLY what it looks like to anyone that doesn't read Japanese, Cambodian, Arabic, etc. Tell them to come talk to you when they master Mongolian script. ;)
Thank you for keeping it real, we DESPERATELY need more real travel experiences/opinions in the travel space.
Because We Camp on
I'm gonna be honest, there really is no reason to be offended, people are just looking for reasons to be offended, just shut up and enjoy this great video, they were just pointing out the truth, the people did look like slobs and Japanese to over 6 billion people who aren't fluent look like a bunch of squiggly lines so don be butt hurt, Kara and Nate, y'all make the best travel videos I've ever seen!
Kara's face at the shady capsule hotel as the elevator closed 🤣 priceless
Just found your channel and I’m binging videos- you two are making me smile so big!!! 💓
Starting from the beginning. You both have come so far. Amazing young people. Fill my world with people like you.
I love her reaction when he tells her it's the wrong one lol
To all the people offended by the squiggly lines comment. To give some perspective, this couple traveled to 100 different countries. Yes, 100. And in each and every video they had to adapt to different languages and cultures. And in each and every video they were positive and respectful. So people, don't be so quick to judge.
Wow...at least u guys can still handle the frustration ...if me with my husband...i think we'll end up arguing and fighting blaming each other who's wrong for putting a wrong address up and yes it'll probably just ruin our travel mood.
Oh my...watching this 6 year old vlog of you two. Spectacular. You two have come so far. Love ❤ it.
Wow, everyone in the comments are so mean and rude to this couple
Right!
All I fucking see is these comments complaining about rude ones.
This is one of my favorite K&N episodes! I'm sure K&N nowadays look back on moments like these that were early on in their traveling/YouTubing careers.
Awww, poor Nate. So worried about Kara all the time! You’re a sweetie!
Are they dating
Hakeelah Smith they’re married?
I just came from their latest capsule hotel experience
you 2 made my day with this video it seems like you had an amazing adventure. even if it didn't go as planned
Love that scary background score!!! What is that!!??
Love you guys!!
Cheer up... Not sure why people are so vicious in the comments. I don't find your behavior very disrespectful. You didn't curse... And your friend laughed at the mistake. Good traveling partner!
the heck you on about ...just 20 seconds into the vid i said to myself these 2 people are complete arseholes ..and that guy there looks horny as fuk through the whole vid lol .... i like them .. there my kinda people haha
I LOVE your videos! I’m from a city next to Irkutsk and Lake Baikal is my “home”. Based on the videos I’ve seen, the presentations of places is very close to reality and I love your unconditional wonder and curiosity about the places you visit. True presentation of what it would be like to be there. Keep doing what you’re doing!
That hotel looked SO SKETCHY! Also loved the eerie music in the video. Smart idea to get out of the capsule hotel for dinner. "Let's leave at 6:30"... that sounds like something my wife would say as well. 🤣
Hilarious!!! Way to be flexible!! You two are troopers!!! I laughed sooo hard!!! Thank you for the giggles
Haha great and realistic video/vlog. loved it!
This is why Kara is a better traveler than me...she laughs about the news about the capsule hotel...I would have cried!
Can people stop literally looking for things to bitch about? I'm sure that not everyone that visits America is in love with a nationality and has to revere everything. Sometimes I just think it isn't worth getting angry between cultures, especially if rudeness was not on purpose.
I don't care tbh it's not like they didn't go experience things.
😂😂😂This episode is hilarious. LOL
btw, just discovered Kara and Nate a couple of months ago, now binge watching from the beginning. Kara and Nate, you guys are awesome!
So... Just subd 😊 Once I started watching your train cabin videos i was hooked!
Watching these vlogs as they are now really shows that you only get better with practice and just learning as you go.
But it’s fun to go back to the start.
Anybody rewatching this in 2020 and like masks are normal fashion now.
When Kara starts whispering you know it's gonna be good
laughing out loud at your capsule blunder. hilarious. 😂😂😂
You two are too funny! I so love watching your videos. I just discovered you in December and have been binge watching ever since! Thanks for sharing your journeys with us....
The term 'you get what you pay for' springs to mind!
Sophia
But they went to the wrong hotel. They were expecting something better and was disappointed. They have a right to be upset. And like good tourists they laughed it off afterwards.
Should have checked the address then
You guys have grown so much! Your video skills, on camera skills, all of it has grown so much! Love you guys and your older videos are cool!
Wow, these are some interesting comments lol. I personally love the video and didn't find it offensive at all. Some people are just too sensitive and make something out of nothing. Thank you for uploading such entertaining and educational videos!
OMG this made me laugh so much!
Okay all these people in the comments saying that they were being rude and arrogant and ungrateful. They were just expecting something different and when they got there they were disappointed. They thought they were getting nice modern fancy capsules were they could be near each other but they didn't and they were just disappointed. If you don't like how they act in the video don't watch it. Simple as that.
Love your videos always make my day
Did send you guys an email via your website
Lovely couple traveling around the world.. I'm jealous of you. Don't worry about all the haters.. Know that I enjoyed your video and that I love you both! Cheers.
A sweet couple bringing us windows of the world. AWSEOME thanks!
the point of capsule hotel is just a place to crash for the night and not a place to stay for the day ...
We got them in the UK now, so they should be spreading.
+Larry Bundy Jr
I know this is obvious but goddamn, you're EVERYWHERE.
Larry Bundy Jr relly?
I know. I think they went there expecting a "unique Japanese experience" not realising this and ended up disappointed.
There are so many nicer capsules than this one that’s full of smoke
And capsule hotel is a thing now that’s why people put it on their list to try it out
Just discovered your channel and I can’t stop binge watching! Love it.
I laughed at "dirty water"! In a lot of east asian cultures the "soup" or water they use to cook the noodles or other starchy carbs in is usually served after finishing the meal. In China I think it may have to do with digestion (drinking the soup used to boil the dumplings in)....? Or as something from times of poverty to make sure you are full after a meal. At this soba place I think the intention is for you to taste the buckwheat flavour straight from the plain broth as a show of their buckwheat quality!
Thank you for this explanation, I was worried they drank the hand wash water!
I'm loving these early videos.
In case anyone's wondering, squiggly lines = "Check-in starts at 4pm"
Love your videos! Wish you would have shared more of the ways you solved some of the challenges.
6:37 When Japanese people eat Soba noodles, we drink soup using the boiled water in the pot. It's make the soup thin taste and drinkable (Original soup is too thick to drink)
Atsushi Tobita that’s great to know!
I’m just now watching this video in 2018 but I love how genuinely worried he is that she’ll be mad. Y’all are adorable
Kara is really brave, I would have been so frikking scared. What an experience for you guys, when I travel to Japan one day, I will know to NOT go there. Nevertheless great video. Onto the next one.
I've wanted to try a capsule hotel for years, and this hasn't put me off. Thanks for sharing.
You're both just so adorable! It looks like you had fun!
OMG your vlogs are actually so interesting! I don't like vlogs, most of the time, but your videos are an exception!
it's fairly normal to drink the water they boil the noodles in so you don't waste it and get all the nutrients they do it in China too
Good to know! Thanks!
George Z um....exactly which nutrients are in noodle water?
Oh thats makes sense
@misterslats ......the nutrients that leached into the water from the noodles and whatever else was inside?
Omg...I love the way you guys turn lemons into margaritas...the mishaps of travel make for entertainment, as well as the good things...Thanks, guys... Lots of love!!! 🐾
You will have so many stories for your grandkids! Haha
+Marilyn C you're so right!
haha no kidding!
The best traveling vlog on TH-cam and I’ve watched a lot of different once.
If you’re offended by this video then leave! Not being disrespectful at all. They’re being honest and put in the wrong address lighten up or leave. Pathetic
Anyone watching in 2020?!? This is so cute-you guys are champs braving it through that capsule hotel and Kara your smile is so adorable after you eat such delicious Ramen
Just found your videos. Ignore the usual TH-cam 'hate' commenters who seem to moan for a living. I enjoyed watching and will watch more of your videos!
+Charwoman thank you :)
The first thing the rather unattractive girl said was calling another cultures language squiggly lines......... If you don't wanna be called out don't disrespect another culture. Its as simple as that and if you really cant respect other cultures then just don't travel because god knows they don't want you uncultured swine in their country. :)
All other languages you cant read by definition are just a selection of squiggly lines until your brain can make sense of them... Im 100% sure it wasnt meant as an insult. However calling Kara unattractive, that was disrespectful... Kara you're hot, killer smile, sorry Nate :P Great videos guys, love them!!
Phil Flaherty So sorry i honestly didn't realize they had the mental compacity of a 6 year old, I guess i just assumed they could tell that while in Japan things would be written in Japanese. My bad.
Phil Flaherty However i was mainly talking about how it was their own sheer stupidity that got them to said hotel, then after that they do nothing but complain. Though what really upset me is when the guy is sitting in the communal room and goes "So we're stuck here... with them" and turns the camera to show the other patrons of the establishment after which he gives a disgusted look. I feel bad for the hotel for having to accomidate such rude vile customers, if they wanted nore luxery they should have paid for a nicer place. Yet instead they show how ugly they themselfes are by not only complaining about litteraly everything(price matches what you get) but it makes it worse when i think about how the other patrons where stuck with them.
LOVE YOU GUYS! Been binge watching since I got home from the North Pole.
Woah the guy kinda looks like Ronaldo wtf 😱😱
Get yo fucked up eyes some glasses
You guys are addictive! I need a Kara and Nate binge watching intervention. 😁
It’s so sad because there’s loads of amazing and fun capsule hotels in japan
Thank you for showing your travels. Enjoyed it.
I love how people are saying they were rude. How many people decide to immigrate to America and not learn the language? And I'm talking people who are not visiting. I don't think them not knowing the language as tourists isn't that bad. This is just how they are experiencing things. I'm sure someone has said our American letters look like squiggly lines before.
alyssa caeytano I know, people are critical of them,and the rest of us Americans for not being fluent in other languages, but how many of them travel to 60 countries, how could you know all those languages, I did see in other countries they tried to say small things in the local language! Remember not always easy! And, again they are visiting!
Kara's face when the elevator door was closing killed me
